Recording another first in the country, HCL Infosystems Ltd., India’s premier information enabling and integration company, has completed the testing of its high availability solutions for Oracle Database with Real Application Clusters (RAC). The high availability solution ensures that if a single node within the Database cluster environment fails, the remaining nodes will continue to function & provide continuous access of data to users. The HCL Infiniti Global Line Servers and SAN Array storage system are the first and only Indian brands to have achieved this feat.

HCL tested its high-end servers, HCL Infiniti Global Line based on Intel Xeon processors, and the high-end storage based on fiber technology in the HCL labs. The Tested Solution can be configured to scale for the multi-CPU server. The customer, using the RAC feature, can create high-end multi CPU system for the Oracle database with low cost HCL Infiniti Global Line four-way servers and multi Tera byte storage.

Making the announcement, Mr George Paul, Vice President Marketing, HCL Infosystems Limited, said, “We have always committed ourselves to continually look for partnering with our clients and evolving solutions which enhance and maximize the value of investments that companies make in IT. This initiative, yet another first from HCL, is a reflection of that commitment.” The value proposition offered by HCL Infosystems will include an integrated hardware and Oracle software solution with tested and validated configurations of hardware, installation and support for Oracle RAC based applications from the HCL laboratory.
